Daktronics OmniSport 2000 Timing Console - Manual (Page 44)

26 Swimming Mode Operation
Examples when to use Split Arm:
 During a relay, the arming delay for the touchpad was too short because a swimmer
from one of the first three legs was still in the water and triggered the touchpad
before climbing out
 Another swimmer reached over the top of a touchpad and triggered the pad
 A malfunctioning touchpad
 If the arming delay was set too long and all lanes need to be armed for a split, press
[SPLIT ARM ALL].
 If there was a start system failure, press [START] then [SPLIT ARM ALL] and
[ENTER]. The timer records the finish order of the race. The time will be incorrect,
but the finish order will be correct.
The swimming insert (Figure 53) has additional keys on the fourth row along with keys on
the right side of the insert which are used regularly during a meet. The remaining keys are
not lane specific, but are equally important in operating the timer.
Start
In most cases, there is a horn start connected to the timing console to signal the start of the
race. Under unique circumstances, the operator has the option to start the timer counting by
pressing [START]. The printer will label the results with the source of the start. If the keypad
was used it would be labeled—Source: Keyboard. If the start was from the horn start it would
be labeled—Source: External.
Examples when to use Start:
 Test the timing system or scoreboard
 In the event of a start system failure, press [START] then [SPLIT ARM ALL] and
[ENTER]. The timer records at least the finish order of the race. The time will be
incorrect, but some data is better than no data.
Store Print
Press [STORE PRINT] to tell the timer to store the race results for that heat up to that
moment. In addition to storing the results, the timer will print whatever printouts are
configured in the settings menu for the printer (refer to Section 5.4). If using the OmniSport
2000 Pro Swimming software, the operator may view/edit the settings from that program
(refer to Section 6.8). If [STORE PRINT] was pressed before the race was complete, it is
essential that it be pressed again when the race is complete in order to save and print the
complete results. If not, any changes/additions will be lost.
